Hi! I'm a senior on team Vertigo 7953. My main points of focus are CADing, building, and working on the team website! Outside of robotics, I love drawing and playing tennis. Even though I'm a senior, there's still a bunch of stuff that I'm excited about learning including how to wire the robot with REV hubs. I'm really excited to be a part of this team as we tackle Rover Ruckus together!
I am a senior on Vertigo 7953, on the team, I build and also am treasurer, which means I manage the funds of the team as well as prospective fundraising opportunities. Outside of the team, I play cello and am a part of math club. This year I hope to do well and set a good example as seniors for the rest of the teams at Albemarle.
My name's Abey and I'm a twelfth grader on team Vertigo. I am part of the builders team, but I also CAD. When I'm not doing robotics I like to watch car videos and am big on tech and gadgets. This season I'm looking forward to learning how to 3D print and laser-cut designs from Fusion 360 and learn basic java.
I am a senior on Vertigo 7953, on the team, I am co-captain, which means I help keep the team on task as well as help team members with their jobs.
